From the Organizer
Our goal is to host a successful road race to draw people to our small town - enjoy the race and then gather downtown afterwards, all while raising funds for our community!
We will have a 1 mile fun run as well as a competitive 5k with an official timer, awards and medals for those that place! We will be offering each participant a t-shirt included in their fee (must register by July 20th).
Our race will begin at our beautiful ball diamond located on Naylor drive, racers will wind through the city streets, and finish downtown on Main Street where there will be live music to enjoy.
